Gen.G GC announce return to Game Changers featuring Ninetails trio and FENNEL GC duo
The new Gen.G GC lineup immediately stands out as one of the most decorated and high-profile Korean Game Changers rosters put together to date.
SOUTH KOREA – Gen.G have officially announced their return to the Game Changers scene, unveiling a roster built around the former Ninetails GC trio and ex-FENNEL Hotelava duo, creating Korea’s most star-studded Game Changers lineup to date.
Leading the roster are former Ninetails standouts Jo "DaNa" Se-won, Park "332" Min-ju, and Park "h4ste" Ju-hee, who dominated the Korean circuit in 2025 by winning Game Changers Korea Split 1 and 2. The trio also went on to finish second at Game Changers Pacific in Bangkok and placed 7th-8th at the Game Changers Championship in Seoul.
Joining them are two more Korean players who built their reputation in Japan with FENNEL Hotelava. Jeong "miNt" Ye-rim enters the team as one of the most exciting young names in the region. Known as a duelist with high upside, miNt reached Radiant at the age of 15 and made her debut for FENNEL Hotelava at just 16, quickly becoming one of the scene’s rising prospects. Alongside her is Park "YamZzi" Su-jin, a more experienced figure who had already found success before her move to Japan. Prior to joining FENNEL Hotelava in 2023, YamZzi was part of the Spear Gaming Female roster that won Game Changers Korea 2022 and finished as runners-up at Game Changers East Asia.
While DaNa, 332, and h4ste dominated the Korean circuit with Ninetails, miNt and YamZzi were making their own mark in Japan. The FENNEL Hotelava pair consistently pushed ZETA DIVISION GC across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, finishing in second place in every split during that period.
Their persistence finally paid off in 2025, when FENNEL Hotelava broke through to win both Split 1 and Split 2, while also securing a fourth-place finish at the Game Changers Pacific LAN.
On the coaching side, Gen.G have also brought in familiar names from the Korean Game Changers ecosystem. Yang "SoKo" Seok-hun joins as the team’s head coach after previously leading CNE Changers, who finished as runners-up in both Game Changers Korea Split 1 and Split 2 in 2025. He will be joined by Jeong "SeoeuN" Seo-eun, who steps into the coaching staff after concluding her playing career. SeoeuN previously competed with DRX Changers in the Game Changers Japan circuit and also spent time with Spear Gaming Female.
Her addition is especially significant as it makes her one of the first female coaches in the Pacific Game Changers ecosystem. It also marks a reunion with YamZzi, her former teammate from four years ago, though this time the two will be working together in different roles.
